Summary
"The worst moment in Karen Wheeler’s life was not in fact when she and Holly were attacked by that terrible thing, that monster, but rather the long three days of waiting that followed...."
This is a short canon-complaint Stranger Things 5 fanfic with some extra moments that I was hoping to see on-screen with Karen Wheeler and her kids. We got some great Karen scenes this season, but I wanted even more!
This fic explores:
--> Karen's POV from the hospital
--> Holly's POV after the final fight
--> Karen's reunion with Holly (and also Mike and Nancy)
--> Karen learning about everything that her kids have been up to since Will first went missing.
--> Ted Wheeler doing absolutely nothingWARNING CONTAINS STRANGER THINGS 5 SPOILERS

Summary
WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE WAY HOME SEASON 2 FINALE
Having leapt into the pond in the year 1814, Jacob feels himself being dragged downward with an ominous fear-inducing pull that he has not felt since that fateful summer night twenty-four years ago. The feeling leaves as suddenly as it came, and Jacob breaches the surface of the pond, gulping in big gasping breaths...
Jacob Landry has finally found his way home.
...
Basically I'm so annoyed about the cliffhanger in the Season 2 Finale that I decided to continue it myself. Happiness and gloriously soapy drama to ensue, hope you enjoy!
